(A fun pun!  That is one happy looking dog!  My baby doesn’t actually get the spa treatment, but we make sure she’s got a pretty cushy life.  Well, she deserves it.  She loves constantly, forgives in a heartbeat, and she knows just when to bark.  She’s more welcome in the house than a lot of family.  The clue words were all jumbled nicely.  “Clump” will be joining the ralis95 clue word database.  The answer letter layout was masterful!  Anytime you put in an actual word, that is not part of the answer, it’s going to be a bit of a distraction.  I see it frequently in the cryptoquote.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(Before Ryan Seacrest . . . before Dick Clark . . . there was . . . Guy Lombardo, and The Royal Canadians!  Actually, I don’t remember too much about him.  He wasn’t a rocker.  He was one of those big band/swing thing band leaders.  Ask your parents, or grandparents, about him, and they’ll tell you:  23 skiddoo!  Or, He was the cat’s pajamas!  Or, something to that effect.  Whatever they tell you, don’t laugh.  Be kind.  We’re all gettin’ there.  The Lord willin’ and the Creek don’t rise!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
